Silverstone revealed today that the 2005 FORMULA 1 Foster's British Grand Prix (8 – 10th   July)   has   received   considerable   public   support.   Tickets   for   the   UK’s   premier motorsport event are selling fast after they went on sale on 16th December, following the signing of a new five year agreement for the British Grand Prix to be held at Silverstone.   The announcement comes as fans have just two weeks to take advantage of Silverstone’s Early Booking Offer.

Fans buying before February will benefit from being able to enjoy all three  days  of  Formula  One  action  for  the  price  of  one.  The  offer,  available  until  1st February, provides spectators purchasing race day tickets with a free upgrade to a three- day Weekend Ticket.  

The Early Booking Offer was a major feature of Silverstone’s pricing strategy in 2004 and, following  its  popularity  with  spectators,  has  been  continued  into  2005.  With  tickets available from £95 for adults (£35 for children), the free upgrade to a three day Weekend Ticket provides a minimum saving of £100 for a family of two adults and two children.   Fans ordering tickets after 31st January will be able to purchase race day and Weekend Tickets at a higher price. Weekend Tickets purchased from 1st February onwards will be available from £135 per adult (£45 per child).

Fans  are  also  encouraged  to  take  advantage  of  Silverstone’s  online  booking  facility  - silverstone-circuit.co.uk  -  which  enables  Formula  One  fans  to  book  tickets  for  the British Grand Prix 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Richard  Phillips,  Managing  Director  of  Silverstone  Circuits  Limited,  commented:  “The support for this year’s British Grand Prix has been fantastic. Ticket sales are up compared to  this  time  in  2004  and  some  grandstands  are  already  sold  out,  including  sections  of Copse, Luffield and Club.  

“The  signs  are  looking  positive  for  another  sell-out  crowd  and,  with  just  two  weeks remaining of our Early Booking Offer, we strongly recommend that spectators book their tickets as early as possible, enabling them to take advantage of three days for the price of a race day ticket offer.”
